I'm really worried because I've been diagnosed with latent TB in my lymph nodes, and I'm not sure if it's safe for me to have a drink every now and then. Could this affect my condition in any way? Should I be avoiding alcohol completely until I'm treated?

View allI'm really worried and curious about something I've come across. Can you explain in detail what it means if someone is S. Typhi O positive at 1:80? I've heard about these medical terms and test results, and I just want to understand what it all signifies for someone's health.
S. Typhi O positive at 1:80 in a Widal test suggests a mild or borderline immune response to Salmonella typhi, the bacteria causing typhoid fever. This may indicate a past infection or vaccination, but by itself, it doesn't confirm active typhoid; clinical symptoms and other tests are essential.

I'm really worried about my uncle who's 56 and has been dealing with tubercular infection in his lymph nodes. Hes already been on anti-tubercular medication for 19 months, but it hasn't improved his condition at all. I'm wondering if there are any top doctors or hospitals in India, especially around Delhi, that you could recommend for this situation. Is surgery something we should be considering as our next step?

I'm a bit worried because I had sex with my wife before realizing she has typhoid. Is there any chance I could catch it too? What steps should I take now?
There is a risk of transmission of typhoid through sexual contact, especially if proper hygiene measures are not followed. It is important for both you and your wife to get tested for typhoid. If the test results are positive, treatment with antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin or Azithromycin may be necessary. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, such as washing hands regularly and avoiding sharing personal items, can help prevent the spread of the infection.
